LARA
Very funny Leah, where did you find that mask?
(SLURRING HER WORDS)

confused.

Leah. Someone is going to kill me tonight
 (GRIPS SHOULDERS)

The two are sitting on the steps outside Laras house and she is explaining to Leah how she is reliving the same
events over and over again.

LEAH
The way I see it is that you have an unlimited amount of lives, meaning you have an unlimited amount of
opportunities to solve your own murder

LARA
So youre saying I have to keep dying in order to find out who the hell wants me dead?
